Day Care Concept
Internationally, managed care organizations attempt to reduce the Average Length of Stay (ALOS) of patients in hospitals as a cost containment measure. This has led to the development of the concept of day care centres with diagnostic and ambulatory care facilities wherein patients need not be admitted for more than one day. This not only helps hospitals increase their revenues by increasing the number of patients who can be treated but also helps them increase the utilization of operation rooms.
Medical Tourism and Certification/Accreditation of Medical Institutions
As covered earlier, medical tourism is being widely promoted by the Indian government. Certification/Accreditation of medical institutions definitely play a large role in attracting foreign nationals to Indian hospitals for treatment. With healthcare delivery players in the private sector vying for the share of international medical tourists, there is bound to be an increase in the number of medical institutions being certified/accredited.
Increasing Role of the Private Sector in Nursing Education
Given the shortage of nurses currently and in the future, the private sector has started playing an important role in nursing education.
Trend Towards Manufacturing of Medical Equipment
Diagnostics is an important element of the healthcare services sector and the increase in the availability of medical institutions drives the need for more medical equipment. As covered earlier, a significant portion of medical equipment used in India is imported this is now slated to change with Indian players entering the arena of medical equipment manufacturing and producing much more affordable equipment. At the same time, more complex and varied types of medical equipment will continue to be imported. The segment is also expected to witness consolidation as smaller companies are acquired and optimized and bigger players thus emerge.
Developments and Newer Areas of Medicine
Combined with the required increase in the density of medical professionals per 1,000 persons, as well as the projected increase in population, significant capacity and skill development is required in the following areas:
Doctors
Nurses
Technicians and Paramedics
Among the areas outlined above, the requirement of nurses, technicians and paramedics account for over 75% of the incremental human resource requirement.
With the expansion in the medical sector, more Anaesthesia Technicians are required by the health department to meet the current requirements.
